Other bad decisions...skipping the Al Smith dinner and sending a bizarre tape which wasn’t funny....skipping Rogan although maybe that one would have sunk her further. Regardless she was a bad candidate burdened with the Biden record. Game over.
I think perhaps the most overlooked reason for Trump’s victory is the successful build-out of alternative media.
1. Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter was a key factor because he got rid of the liberal censorship and allowed Republicans to reach tens of millions of voters.
2. A second important example is Trump’s successful use of Joe Rogan’s podcast and similar vehicles to reach millions of people, especially younger voters.
3. A final example is Truth Social.
It is essential that the Republicans continue these efforts to build out the alternative media. The legacy media will never change their liberal bias.
